Rug Chick Blog - WoolSafe and Wool Products
Hi, I’m Lisa Wagner, your trusted rug friend. I created RugChick because honest, practical rug advice was hard to find. Today it’s a go-to resource for buying, caring for, and cleaning rugs. Homeowners get clear tips, rug care professionals get safe methods, and rug makers/designers find candid insights so we can raise the bar together. Browse the articles, search your question, and reach out if you need help. I’m glad you’re here!
If you are in San Diego, visit us at Blatchford’s San Diego Rug Cleaning & Repair. Here I am with my mom Kate and my niece Chris, three generations caring for your rugs.
